When to check in on the journey to home ownership<br />

The term of a mortgage can be anything from 25-35 years but most of us<br />

change our mortgage at least 3-4 times during that period.<br />

In the early stages of repayment we pay more interest than capital. It is<br />

there<strong>for</strong>e worth getting a home loan health check; not just when your<br />

current rate comes to an end, but also when you have a change in<br />

circumstances e.g. you inherit money, when you have increased<br />

disposable income or you simply have a lump sum to invest. Even<br />

without these events, at the age of 42 years we need to consider<br />

carefully how to use our income to maximise our chances of not only<br />

paying off our mortgage and owning our home, but also how we can<br />

maximise the most returns from the funds that we have at our disposal.
